Distractions, Another Happy Dance and something you didn't get to see!

It's a little difficult to get any stitching done when you get one of these.....

I'm not complaining too loudly though, it was a perfect price (aka free) and I have been enjoying a bit more blog browsing and researching my books, TV shows and movies!  Plus the only person I share this with is my hubby :)

I did manage to do some stitching though, LOL.  Me....not stitch.....yeah right!  I finished my ornament for this month.  Woohoo, another happy dance!

I just realized that I completely forgot to show you this finish from last year!
LK Cinderella Is Proof Boxer
28ct Cream EW
DMC floss

And I"m almost finished the first square on Red Threads.  I also picked up Black Cats and Flying Bats that I haven't touched since last year since I was having nightmares about not having enough fabric left to stitch it on and I put my mind to rest.  I'm really enjoying stitching whatever I please and I'm kind of doing a lot of flipping back and forth.  I'll share the RT and BC&FB projects with you in the next post.

I just made a tea and it's time to stitch while watching Revenge, which is such a great show!  Anyone else like this one too? 

30 friends had this to say!:

Great finishes Angela!

Jackie said...

Congratulations on your new laptop and finishes! I have a laptop too and can't imagine going back to a desktop. But it's also a bit too convenient in terms of how easy it is to take up so much time!

Sally said...

Lovely finishes Angela.

I think if I had a laptop I'd never get any stitching done although we do have my eldest DD's old one but I rarely switch it on!

dixiesamplar said...

Oooh, now that's a nice laptop! and your WIPs and finishes are lovely...

Lisa S said...

Nice laptop! I have a desk top but I have an iphone that I find myself browsing and looking up stuff on lol Yeah the screen is small but it works!

Gabi said...

Mindi said...

I'm totally hooked on Revenge! At the beginning of the season I wasn't sure how long the plot line would be able to go, but it just keeps getting more twisted, and I love it.

Congratulations on the ornament finish, very sweet!

Carol said...

I'm having the same problem with lack of stitching time, Angela, as I received an iPad for Christmas! It is so nice not being chained to my desktop computer any longer.

Love your cute ornament and I'm another Revenge fan!!

Pumpkin said...

A new puter! FUN! And free? Tell me how I can get a free tablet ;o) LOL!

Cute little ornament and your finish from last year is lovely. Keep up the stitching!

Catherine said...

What cute stitches! And Revenge, I'm hooked!!

A new laptop! Fun! Darling stitching projects, too.

Brigitte said...

Oh great, both finishes are so cute. I have to browse the JCS issue now to find the little snowman and maybe stitch him myself. I've fallen for him, lol.

Lynn said...

I can just imagine how much fun you're having with that laptop! When I first got mine I spent soooo much time on it. I mean, wow, I could take it anywhere with me! Now I'm a bit better.... well, maybe!
I love your finishes Angela. That BRD is so cute!
I really enjoy stitching back and forth between various projects. I used to be a one project kind of gal but this way is far less boring. Let's face it, as much as we enjoy a project, sometimes we'd just like a change.

Elisa said...

Great finishes Angela, enjoy your new toy!

♥ Nia said...

Congrats on your finishes!! :D

Anne said...
